A lot has been going on recently, both professionally and personally. In April I finished up a class at Pratt called Sculpture in Motion. I worked in wood for the first time and made a piece that explores a variety of motions and in which the mechanism is part of the art. Though currently unfinished, it will be shown in the Pratt lobby with other works from the class in July 2011.

The Alley Art Project has mostly wrapped up. We installed the panels and sculpture in the alley last week and they are ready and waiting for our opening on Thursday, May 5th. Each of the interns will be displaying a work for the evening (or longer). It should be a fun party with music, food, and of course good company.

I was also recently contacted by Beyond Wonderland asking if I wanted to show Propolis for their event. Luckily I just obtained replacement circuit boards and have finished up soldering all the lights back together so we’re good to go. So, Propolis will be back up and running on May 14th for what looks like an amazing party.

This summer is shaping up to be completely insane. I’ll be traveling for much of it, going to Maker Faire for the first time as well as Burning Man (of course!), and also hopefully working with the Flaming Lotus Girls down in San Francisco.
